Excellent Cases

Steady and Solid case options

If you’re looking for a versatile plastic carry case that is suitable for a range of applications, Excellent Cases with or without foam are a great choice.

The Excellent case range from Maxado is available in 2 slightly different variants. The Excellent Steady series cases are lighter, whereas the Excellent Solid cases are more robust and feature thicker sidewalls. Across both options, there are 24 sizes, eight colours, and a range of features, including an integral handle, moulded hinges, and easy-to-use catches.

At GWP, we are experts not only in supplying protective cases but also in customising them. We can offer bespoke foam inserts, external printing, and a range of other options to ensure your case provides optimum protection and presentation. Please speak with one of our case experts for further details of how we can help.

Excellent case features

Excellent cases boast a range of useful features and benefits.

Catches

The durable and well-built catches operate independently of each other yet provide a very secure closure. They can also be specified in matching or contrasting colours.

Handle

The handles on Maxado cases are moulded into the main body of the case. They combine being comfortable to use with exceptional strength and robustness.

Branding area

Besides the attractive appearance, Excellent Cases’ design also provides excellent branding potential (typically added with either screen or digital printing).

Moulded feet

The moulded feet on the base allow the case to stand upright when not in use. This storage requirements and makes handling of the case easier.

Hinge

The durable moulded hinge provides easy operation and a long lifespan. Besides this, the hinge design also allows the cases to open 180 degrees.

Double wall

The larger Solid series cases feature a durable wall construction and honeycomb structure to provide the case with added strength and longevity.

Eco material

Excellent cases use an environmentally neutral polypropylene material, whilst they can also be recycled at the end of their life.

Excellent case sizes

Excellent cases are available in 24 sizes. The smallest Excellent case is 165 x 145 x 22 mm, whilst the largest option is 540 x 380 x 140 mm. Maxado Excellent cases are available in eight standard colours: black, white, grey, navy, blue, green, yellow, and red.

What is the difference between Solid and Steady cases?

The main difference between the Excellent Steady series cases and the Solid series options is their size and durability. Solid cases are chunkier and more robust (utilising a honeycomb, double-wall construction), while the Steady series is lighter and easier to handle.

What size Excellent cases are available?

There are 24 sizes across both the Steady and Solid series, with 12 in each range. The smallest is the Steady X 16522 (165 x 145 x 22 mm), and the largest is the Solid X 5730 (570 x 445 x 300 mm).

What are Excellent cases manufactured from?

Excellent cases are manufactured from durable, high-quality polypropylene. What is particularly noteworthy about this material, however, is that it is “environmentally neutral.” The material makes Excellent cases among the most eco-friendly plastic cases currently available.

Who manufactures Excellent cases?

Dutch company Maxado manufactures Excellent cases. Established in 1995, Maxado makes a range of popular plastic and aluminium cases, including the Excellent and SPI case ranges.

What colour Excellent cases are available?

Excellent cases are available in eight colours as standard – black (RAL 9005), white (RAL 9016), grey (RAL 7024), navy (RAL 5002), yellow (RAL 1021), blue (RAL 5005), green (RAL 6029), red (RAL 3020) and transparent.

Is it possible to print Excellent cases?

The smooth exterior surfaces of the Excellent cases allow for various branding opportunities. Options include simple labelling and vinyl lettering alongside direct screen and digital printing of logos and graphics.

Can I add foam inserts to my Excellent cases?

Excellent cases are ideal for enhancing with custom foam inserts. These can help with presentation, for example, if they are being used as sample cases, or for protection if they are being used to safely store or transport tools, equipment, etc.
